Hello friends! I know it’s technically still summertime, but I’m ready for fall weather. And since I still need a lot more Halloween cards to give to a local retirement home, I decided to use another Halloween paper pad. I prefer using the cuter designs and not to avoid the scary stuff. So I chose to use DCWV Spooky Halloween paper collection. Any papers that I felt were too spooky, I simply used the opposite side of the paper. About half of the papers have a pretty orange foil accent which I thought was a nice addition to the cards.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 35 cards.
Because it takes many hours to use up a 6×6 paper pad, this video has been sped up 7 times. The real time recording was just over 4 hours, not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 20 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 4 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Black – Recollections
Easter grass – Bazzill
Orange – unknown
Hydrangea – Coredinations
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. Operation Write Home sketches are the only ones that already provide measurements. For all the other sketches, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using DCWV Spooky Halloween 6×6 paper pad.

I appreciate your kindness and support!
I love watching your videos, it’s very therapeutic. The cards are well crafted and simply enjoyable!
Your cards and videos are always amazing. I always love your paper choices. Great job! Thanks so much for sharing your talent.
Always amazing!
Another wonderful set of cards, Kristie. You are so talented and use the papers to well to create terrific cards. Great array of sketches, too. I look forward to watching the video. 🙂
Thank you! I appreciate your kindness and support. 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I really appreciate your kindness. Have a wonderful day! 🙂
Thank you, Sherry! 🙂
Thank you, Jeanne! This paper collection was a bit different than my usual choices, but I still really enjoyed using it. 🙂
Awesome job Kristie. My wish list is growing with every 6×6 tutorial.
Where can I find the Reverse Confetti Card Sketches? The link takes me to the website but not the sketches.
Thank you! Sorry for the continued enabling. 😉 I always try to link directly to the specific sketch. But Reverse Confetti redid their website several months ago and now it's really hard to find the exact post for each sketche. But I still wanted to give credit, so I just linked to their website. I'll probably be using their sketches less and less since I can't link to them anymore.
I thought I was going crazy. Thank you for the quick response.
I am putting together a card making day with a bunch of my friends who are in recovery. I've taken my inspiration from your videos to put together packets of 6×6 papers and card stock with some stamped sentiments of encouragement for us to pass along to others who are in recovery. Thank you for being such a great inspiration.
What a fabulous idea! I'm sure your friends are going to have so much creating cards to share with others. What a wonderful blessing. I'm so glad I could provide some inspiration for you. Happy crafting!
These are fabulous cards! Love how you put the different patterns together. Great inspiration!
Thank you, Barb! This was a fun paper collection to use. 🙂
